    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Although the Renegotiation Board is no 
    longer in existence, other Federal Agencies are required to use 
    interest rates computed under the criteria established by the 
    Renegotiation Act of 1971 Sec. 2, Pub.L. 92-41, 85 Stat. 97. For 
    example, the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 Sec. 12, Pub.L. 95-563, 92 
    Stat. 2389 and the Prompt Payment Act of 1982 Sec. 2, Pub.L. 97-177, 96 
    Stat. 85 provide for the calculation of interest due on claims at a 
    rate established by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 
    3902(a).
        Therefore, notice is given that, the Secretary of the Treasury has 
    determined that the rate of interest applicable, for the period 
    beginning July 1, 1999 and ending on December 31, 1999, is 6.50 per 
    centum per annum. This rate is determined pursuant to the above 
    mentioned sections for the purpose of said sections.
    
        Dated: June 29, 1999.
    Donald V. Hammond,
    Fiscal Assistant Secretary.
